I have created an IAM user account. Now I want to connect with this user to the AWS console.

AWS says:

For Users who need access to the AWS Management Console, create a password in the Users panel after completing this wizard.

I have created one password for the IAM user.

Trying to log in to the AWS Console using the new user name and the password does not work.

What do I have to do?

If you do not have the AWS Alias Configured then you would use

https://Your_AWS_Account_ID.signin.aws.amazon.com/console/

if an alias is configure then

https://Your_Alias.signin.aws.amazon.com/console/

Apparently the URL for the AWS IAM Login is quite hard to remember. I have created this site to navigate to the respective IAM Console's Login page by just remembering the alias or the account number.

    Thank you, that's a very useful tool. I've spent 5 min trying to login to my account, even starting from the official AWS home page I couldn't (maybe due to some cookie issue). Anyway, using this IAM login page it went right away to the right place. – laurent Apr 19 '17 at 10:02

Found it!

One has to log in using the login URL that is available in the IAM Dashboard or create a personalised login URL as described here:

I had to add @{your Account#} to log in using IAM, like so:

https://Your_Alias@Account.signin.aws.amazon.com/console/
